Another new toy

After reading a previous post where someone had purchased a driver from Ivan at Sanders Longdrive and having given the driver a very good review, I decided to give Ivan a call as I do not live to far away from him to test drive a few of his drivers and shafts.

I currently own a Taylormade r9 driver so i took that along also so i could compare the difference.

So off we went to the local driving range, first off i tried a different shaft in my driver, yes it was slightly longer and felt better but not perfect.

Next was the Ralph Maltby 9 degree with a Nippon NS Pro GT 800 Stiff at 46.50 long, this was so much better than my R9 by at least 30 to 40 yards, even with my inconsistent swing which can be confirmed by Ivan himself, went on to try another two drivers but the 9 degree Maltby gave the best results I was really impressed with the club so I bought it.

I was a bit skeptical when i read a previous post where someone else had some really good results after purchasing one Ivan’s drivers but after seeing them and trying them myself I was really impressed with the equipment and the service he provided; nothing was too much trouble for him.

We don’t realize how inferior these of the shelf drivers are compared to specialist equipment maker’s drivers; I will not buy another off the shelf driver that’s for sure.

PS I didn’t tell Ivan I was a member of golfshake and read the previous review I just wanted an unbiased testing session, full marks to Ivan couldn’t fault it.
